Ultrasonographic Alterations of Pancreas in Diabetic Patients
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Pancreas is insulin-producing gland and its subjected to injury and alteration in the diabetes-producing process. Ultrasonography (U/S) of pancreas can evaluate the gland in 95% of cases and its correctness in diagnosis of pancreatic disease equals with that of CT-scan. This Study was preformed to assess the pancreatic size of diabetic patients using ultrasonography and to ascertain whether there is a relationship between the size of the pancreas and the duration of diabetes. Material and methods: Two groups (type 1 and type 2 DM) of 30 diabetic patients each were compared with healthy controls. Ultrasound examinations to measure pancreas head and diameter was preferred. The study included all patients above 20 years old, who had DM (type -1 and 2). Exclusion criteria - Patients of pediatric age group and had any pancreatic abnormalities (cirrhosis, thalassemia, pancreatitis, pancreatic tumors or cystic fibrosis). One-way ANOVA test and Student's T-test were performed to compare the size of head and body of pancreas and pancreas echogenicity in various groups. Results: Mean pancreatic head and body size were 17.5 ± 2.5 MM and 7.4 ± 1.6 MM, individually, in insulin-dependent diabetic patients, while these measurements were 21.1 ± 3.5 MM and 9.0 ± 2.1 mm, respectively, in noninsulin dependent diabetic patients, and 26.2 ± 4 mm and 13.9 ± 2.6 MM, correspondingly, in the control group. Diameter of pancreas was statistically significant in diabetic patients and correlated with duration of disease. Conclusions: there was a reduction in the size of
